Mass Extinctions

Science tells us that a mass extinction killed the dinosaurs, except for those that could fly. A huge comet had struck the planet; that event created a deadly climate change, which some consider a liberal myth.

In the last 500 million years, five different mass extinctions wiped the slate on Earth almost but not quite clean of animal and vegetable life forms. The main cause each time: climate change. 

Western civilization first collapsed during the Bronze Age, about 3,000 years ago. The Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites, Cypriots, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Assyrians and Babylonians fell.  Probably from climate change.  

The Maya civilization disintegrated 1200 years ago. Likely cause, a local climate change.
